A guide to building comprehensive Item Groupings in IMMS.

IMMS allows us to move to a shared collection. Where items will be distributed based on whether there's a need for them at that location.
But how does this decision making work? This page shows some examples.

Changes to Symphony Workflows with the connection to IMMS:
New fields in Item Records
Sort Points display
Chute column on checkin screen

A list of terms used by IMMS, with notes on how they differ from Symphony. Additional keywords: definitions, dictionary.

Use the ‘Shelve items’ wizard to shelve a Transport Unit of items (including Lucky Day) on their home ("grouped") shelves.

Use this workflow to assign an item or the contents of a Transport Unit to a chaotic shelving Location.

Use Symphony to check items in if your location doesn’t have an AMH, or if your AMH is down. This procedure applies to local checkin (bookdrop) only. For return crate processing, see this workflow.

Instructions for creating Exhibition Groups and assigning items to them

There is no automated password reset function in IMMS, so all forgotten passwords must be reset manually. This process requires User Administration permissions. All IMMS Champions have these permissions.

Use the ‘Put in Transport Unit’ wizard to move all items from one Transport Unit (TU) into another. Generally used to move items from a system TU (crate) to a location TU (cart).

Pick lists in IMMS tell you what items need to be pulled off of your shelves for various reasons. Some lists run every day; some run only as needed. 

Use the ‘Picking’ wizard to pull and process holds.

Use these steps to process incoming crates if your location doesn’t have an AMH, or if your AMH is down. Note that incoming crates are handled differently depending on what is in them.

Items from incoming crates may be run through the AMH for rough-sorting, rather than being transferred directly to a shelving Transport Unit (TU).

Use this process to place Exhibition items in the Location that the Exhibition is assigned to (like the regular Shelve Items workflow, IMMS will only place the items in assigned destinations).

Use the ‘Change transport unit at chute’ wizard to switch out a full Transport Unit (TU) for an empty one.
